InDesign CS3 and Unicode

From BabelMap (character map application for Windows), I have pasted in InDesign CS3 the 818 characters of OT Adobe Garamond Pro. Something is strange : for exemple the digit nine have the Unicode number U+E097 in the Info Panel but U+0039, in the Glyphs panel. I don't understand why this difference. Someone can explain me ? Thanks

Adobe Garamond Pro has several nines: lining nine, oldstyle figures

nine, superscript nine, subscript nine. If you pasted every glyph, you

should have gotten at least four nines, probably more. Although U+E097

and U+0039 may look the same, U+E097 is an oldstyle figures nine. U+0039

is a regular lining nine.



I think.
